There are still ten days from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the “moon cake battle” set off early on the market has also reached a climax. At the same time, some “upscale gift boxes” for moon cake packaging are also popular. The quality of these products has become a concern for the public. Recently, Ms. Li, who lives in the early spring garden district in Kuiwen District, told reporters that she had purchased a box of moon cakes at a cake shop in the early spring garden market. However, after going home and observing carefully, she found that there was no production date, shelf life, etc. on the package. product information.
High-end gift box homemade moon cake On the morning of August 29th, the reporter came to the early spring garden market in Kuiwen District. When purchasing mooncakes, the reporter noted that almost every cake shop counter has a variety of moon cake gift boxes. The stacks are very high. Most of these gift boxes are beautifully presented, and are comparable to regular moon cake gift boxes sold by large supermarkets.
When the reporter picked up a gold-wrapped gift box called “Golden Full House”, he clearly felt that the material of the gift box was relatively soft. After carefully checking the packaging of the gift box, he found that the package did not indicate any ingredient list and production. Date, shelf life, and manufacturer's information, but the blank space at the bottom of the box is printed with a vague “QS” food safety sign.
When the reporter told the waiter that there was no product information on the package, the waiter responded by saying: “This is a better seller. The price of a gift box is RMB 12. As long as there is no problem with the moon cake, no one cares about the product information. As long as we finish eating within 10 days, yesterday we sold nearly 1,000 boxes, most of which were bought by some companies for employee welfare.Our products are of good quality and many repeat customers.” The waitress continued to say that these packaging boxes Due to the different level of exquisiteness, the interior is different and the price is not the same. Some gift boxes are made of metal, and some gift boxes are equipped with a knife and fork to eat moon cakes, the price from a few yuan to tens of dollars.
Afterwards, the reporter went to a pastry shop called Hailong Bakery located north of the intersection of Fenhe Road and Dongfeng East Street in Kuiwen District. When the reporter expressed that he wanted a more exquisite packing gift box, the owner said that they hadn't had time to purchase, and the customer could go to “Weifang City Wholesale Food Market” on Zhangzhou Road to purchase.
The "three-nothing" gift box became a hot commodity at 11 am. The reporter went to the "Weifang City Wholesale Food Market" located at No. 600 Wuzhou Road. He saw that many shops are stacked with many exquisite gift boxes. Many salesmen are at the doorstep. Folding the gift box is very busy.
The reporter walked into a shop that specialized in gift boxes and found a room of less than 15 square meters, filled with a variety of gift boxes, almost stacked to the roof. The name of these gift boxes is very eye-catching, such as "easy sailing", "Golden Autumn Moon" and so on, the design is very beautiful. In a conversation with the shop owner, the reporter learned that near the Mid-Autumn Festival, their shop now mainly sells mooncake gift boxes, but the price of different mooncake gift boxes varies greatly, ranging from 1.5 yuan to 90 yuan. “This is mainly to meet different levels of consumer needs. If customers are eating for themselves, they will choose a slightly lower price, but if it is for gifts, they will pay more attention to the appearance and grade of the gift box. Of course, the price will be much higher. ."The boss says. The reporter took a closer look and found that the moon cake gift box was wooden and was heavier than the previous moon cake gift box that the reporter had seen. In this so-called high-end moon cake gift box, in addition to exquisite designs, the reporter also did not find any production date, shelf life and other manufacturers information.
In another shop that sells candy, the reporter found a moon cake gift box that was similar to the one seen in the early spring garden market. The boss said to the reporter; "This gift box is worth 7 yuan a month, 50 yuan a pack, and more prices can be negotiated. Our sales here are very good. Yesterday, there were 3,000 old customers in a city." When asked about the purchase channels of these boxes, the boss said in a prepared manner that they had come from Qingzhou. (Yin Meng Zhang Yan)
Remind the public to keep in mind "six points" when purchasing moon cakes
Recently, the reporter learned from the Kuiwen Industry and Commerce Branch that the Food Surveillance Branch of the Bureau issued a consumer warning to remind the public to keep in mind the “six points” when purchasing moon cakes.
First, check the sign. Regular moon cake manufacturers will mark the manufacturer, site, production date, shelf life, ingredient list, storage conditions, and QS certification marks on the product label. When the outer packaging of the moon cake is inconsistent with the production date of the small packaging inside, the purchase should be rejected.
Second, look at the appearance. It depends on the shape and size of the moon cakes. The newly-made moon cakes are bright in color, glossy in appearance, and soft in texture. Older and inferior moon cakes are often of unsatisfactory color, dullness, and dry hair. The skins and fillings are not crispy and smell an odor.
Third, look at the packaging. It is advisable to choose simple packaging moon cakes from big brand manufacturers. Beware of the fact that some manufacturers and sellers have taken excessive packaging to deliberately raise the price of moon cake gift boxes in order to extract huge profits.
Fourth, select manufacturers. Should choose some large-scale, a certain reputation of the manufacturer and formal, large supermarkets to buy, bulk moon cakes must be carefully selected.
Fifth, anti-typing. It is often seen that moon cakes, which are sold with cigarettes, wine, and even high-end gifts, are difficult to guarantee quality and after-sales service.
Sixth, leave the bill. To request shopping vouchers, such as computer vouchers, invoices, etc. These are the vouchers for consumers to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. If problems are found in the quality of moon cakes, complaints can be made to the local industry and commerce department or the 12315 hotline.
